Not On This Earth

When I was born, blood so clean
Out of the void, screamed serene
Quick to forget while I learned
How to give in while I yearned
Darkness means something to me
Reaching for what can’t be seen
It’s a trick...from within
To feel your way into being
Not On This Earth, Oh Not Here
The countless sharp come so close
Yet in their words lost in prose
There’s nothing left but discourse
And in the wake death of course
What were we thinking my dears
Not On This Earth, Oh Not Here

Eyes Up To The Sky
In Shades Of Gray
Covering Up An Infinite Display
Wildly Spinning Out
And Yet So Still
All That Freedom Tempered By What Will Be
The Motion Of Becoming
Dance A Deadly Dance While Time Is Running Out
Out And Into Love’s Embrace
Feel The Breeze Caressing
Where You End
Only To Begin Again
In Them
A Deeper Sense
Awakens When I Stop
Trying So Hard
To Riddle What Is Not
The Motion Of Becoming
Dance A Deadly Dance While Time Is Running Out
Out And Into Love’s Embrace

Reckless and joyful
Her steps in time
Sunshine splatters on the ground
To the pulse of fluttering wings
Tuneful and brilliant
She jumps around
Rain that feeds the motion
From the ashes to the sky
Born as a message
The arc of living right
Fill the shallow with the fullness
Of the seconds trapping light
Vibrant and giving
Her tears and her smiles
Endings give way to beginnings
The gifted throw of deepest sighs
Tuneful and brilliant
She jumps around
Rain that feeds the motion
From the ashes to the sky
Born as a message
The arc of living right
Fill the shallow with the fullness
Of the seconds trapping light

I Do

A firey night
A blackened moon
Shake down the trees
The fruit in bloom
Eat until you see
In hand a hand
Our souls to save
The need to love
Evades the grave
And so we stand
And walk on quicksand
The time is coming
And we don’t even care
This song needs singing
You ask me if I will
I reply “I Do”
A hidden trail
Into the wood
You let your steps
Remember who
You were meant to be
And in your lock the key
The time is coming
And we don’t even care
This song needs singing
You ask me if I will
These words need meaning
You ask me if I will
I reply “I Do”
